London Urban Sketchers Day Two

28/7/2018

0 Comments

 
On Saturday we had a full day London Urban Sketchers event at Si Katherine Docks by the Tower/Tower Bridge.  Not so hot but probably a sketchers worst enemy wind and worse...gusts.  Just as you settle into a drawing bam off go your pallet and water.  Anchor them and re-start.  Going nicely now then without warning another stronger gust.  But there were lots of artists, plenty of fine work, and interested on lookers.  Its said  you draw you really see.  Had an interesting chat with a small group including a photographer on the difference between drawing and photographing.  They are very different arts and do different things.  As we spoke I noticed a floating duck house which made the point.  Put it into my 'East Basin' sketch below. '

​A mess of Boats' is a 20 minute sketch at the end, done in a hurry but tries to get the 'jumble' feel of equipment, rigging and masts that is St Katherine Dock.
